The original Five Rights of Delegation were developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing in 1995 . These rights were revised in 2006 and were determined to be: 1) the right task; 2) under the right circumstances; 3) to the right person; 4) with the right directions and communication; and 5) under the right supervision and evaluation. The right route refers to medication administration and the right responsibility, while important, is not one of these identified five rights of delegation (ANA and NCSBN, 2006).
